'Girls Trip 2' may relocate from Ghana to another African country
LOS ANGELES, March 11 (UPI) -- The next Girls Trip may be moving, according to star Regina Hall. Screenwriter Tracy Oliver previously said she was writing Girls Trip 2 to send her quartet of women to Ghana, but Hall said recent revisions may relocate the sequel.
During a Zoom interview with UPI for her new movie O'Dessa, which will post next week, Hall gave a Girls Trip 2 update with more detail than she told Jennifer Hudson on her talk show last week.
"I heard that it may not be in Ghana actually," Hall said. "They've since moved. I know Tracy and Kenya [Barris] are writing it."
Oliver told UPI Afrochella inspired her to set the sequel in Ghana. Hall said the writers are still developing a girls trip to Africa, depending on which country is feasible for filming.
"But I do know it is in Africa which is a continent so that doesn't narrow it down a lot," Hall said. "I do know that it's somewhere in Africa. It probably has a lot to do with where they'll set the infrastructure up which makes me think South Africa. That's my feeling."
2017's Girls Trip starred Hall, Tiffany Haddish, Jada Pinkett and Queen Latifah as four friends traveling to New Orleans. Their raunchy comic adventure challenges, but ultimately heals, their friendships.
The original film opened at No. 2 behind Dunkirk with $30.4 million on its way to grossing over $115 million in the United States and Canada.

File Photo by John Angelillo/UPI | License Photo June 9 (UPI) -- Netflix released a trailer for Tyler Perry's Madea's Destination Wedding, marking the writer, director and actor's 13th cinematic outing as the iconic matriarch. The film, which debuts July 11, is Perry's second Madea film to be released in creative partnership with Netflix. The 13th installment in the film franchise sees Perry's Madea traveling to the Bahamas with her family to celebrate the surprise wedding of her nephew's daughter, Tiffany (Diamond White), to a rapper she met on a yacht. "It's been 20 years now since Diary of a Mad Black Woman came out," Perry told Netflix. "To see that this character is still enduring, and people are still watching and enjoying and laughing, it's really mind-blowing to me." Perry, who plays multiple roles in the film, said returning to Madea is a form of comfort. "I keep coming back because some of this is just escapism," he said. "Just let's leave the world behind for a moment and come to Madea's house, and have some good food and laugh, and cry and celebrate and be all of those things." Tyler Perry's Madea's Destination Wedding also stars Cassi Davis Patton, David Mann, Tamela Mann, Taja V. Simpson, Jermaine Harris and Xavier Smalls.
